The husband-and-wife team will conclude this year’s series with a Nov. 26 performance at the Neurosciences Institute Auditorium, just north of the University of California San Diego campus in La Jolla. The concert is a preview of their upcoming album, “Turn Signal,” which will be released in January by Cleveland-based Capri Records and was recorded at Studio West in Rancho Bernardo.

Hofmann and Wofford, whose combined recording credits with various jazz and pop legends could fill much of this page, won’t appear alone for their Neurosciences Institute performance. They’ll be joined by rising trumpet star Terrell Stafford and two veteran San Diego musicians, bassist Rob Thorsen and drummer Richard Sellers.

The series begins with an Oct. 12 concert by the New Gary Burton Quartet, whose vibraphone-playing namesake is a six-time Grammy Award-winner. His latest band features ace Mexican drummer Antonio Sanchez, bassist Scott Colley and young guitar virtuoso Julian Lage.

In between the concerts by Burton and the Hofmann/Wofford quintet will be an Oct. 24 performance by the pioneering band Oregon.

The four-man Oregon, which this year is celebrating its 40th anniversary, fuses jazz and chamber music with an array of styles from around the world. Oregon is co-led by three of its four founding members, guitarist/pianist Ralph Towner, bassist Glen Moore and multi-woodwind player Paul McCandless (one of the few jazz artists to specialize on such instruments as oboe, English horn and bass clarinet). Percussionist Mark Walker is the replacement for Oregon’s original drummer, Collin Walcott, who died in a 1984 car accident in Germany while on tour with the band.

The Athenaeum will also present a concert by world-class North County guitarist Peter Sprague, who performs Dec. 2 with his String Consort at the intimate Studio of the Athenaeum School of the Arts in University Heights.
